XBLite is a concise, simple,
powerful, Windows programming
language which combines the speed
of C with the ease of a BASIC
syntax. The XBLite compiler is
free, open-source, and published
under GPL and LGPL licenses.

"XBLite
is
an easy-to-use, extremely
flexible and powerful
programming language,
appropriate for both the
quick utility and the
major project. Of all the
Open Source programming
languages, none come close
to XBLite."
--Rick--

"I
use the XBLite compiler
due to its similarities to
C, but without the
complications of memory
management. It is simple
to learn, yet ideally
suited for beginners,
students, and
programming
professionals alike."
--Michael--

"I originally downloaded
XBLite because it was free
and I've been using XBLite
for all my major projects
ever since. What I really
like about XBLite is the
comprehensive CHM help
file and demo programs.
What other free BASIC
compiler has a help file
with over 400 topics and
over 200 demo programs."
